Not cen leaf stirred lightly
The sun was shining brightly
Der all the silent land.
We sat In joy unbroken,
No useless word was spoken,
Our hearts scarce beating more.
We spoke not, for why should wei
Nor questioned, for how could wet

No yearning for the morrow,
No loved one far away;

Lepsins, the director of the Egyptian
department of the royal museums Of Ber-
lin, Germany, q very famous Egyptolo-
gist, at his death left renarkahle papy-
rus which he had obtained from an
English lady, Miss Westcar. According
to its language it was written about the
seventeenth century before Christ. the
period of the delivery of Egypt from tho
rule Of the Ayksos tJews0. 1t measures
Eearly two yards in length and is about
fourteen inches high. On ono side it CON
tains nine, ON the other three. columns of
an average of twenty-siX horizontal lines
Of writing each. Some parts of the
writing are entirely obliterated, many so
much us TO lie uurcadable. The beginning
and the conclusion are gone entirely.
Nevertheless, the rcCitals have been read
and sufficiently restored to become intel
ligihle.
One Of the tales is that King Snofru
was sad Of heart, and on the advice Of
Iozomonch, the priest and reader to the
king, had . boat manned by twenty
beautiful oarswomen and went on voy-
age. One OF the women happened to
drop precious jewel Of malachite into
the sea, and was SO overwhelmed with
grief that She dropped her oar and the
boat came to a stand5tii. The king was
dismayed. But Xczemonch raised one
hall Of the waters of the lake and clapped
it on top Of the other half, leaving half Of
the bottom of the lake dry, descended
and brought up the jewel, and the boat
resumed its journey. Another legend Of
the papyrus says the god of the sun, Re,

Smokers will be interested to know
that not thousand miles from Albany
there is a firm which makes large guam
titles of paper for this avowed purpose.
Tie plan Of operation is said to be this:
The paper, on reaching the tobacco ware
house, is repeatedly soaked in strong
decoction of tho plant. 1t is then cut up
and pressed in molds, which give to each
sheet the imitation of the genuine leaf
tobacco. So close is the imitation that
expert tobacco men and habitual smokers
have been deceived At a recent gather
ing in this city cigars made from this
paper tobacco were passed around and
declared excellent. Many of those pres
ent declared the cigars We're made from
rare brands, and SO well was the inlita-
tion carried out that one man actually

about the cigars being genuine tobacco

Ascent of Kilimaniaro.

The highest mountain in Africa has at
last been conquered. Or. A. Meyer, of
Leipsic, succeeded in reaching the sum-
NIT OF the Kibo peak III August last.
Kilimanjaro was discovered by the mis-
sionary Rebmann in 1S48, and in the
following year his colleague, Krapf. dis
covered its snow covered companion,
Kenia. In 1862 Van der Decllen at,
tempted to ascend Kilimanjaro, but sue
ceeded only in reaching a height Of
14,000 feet. In 1871 the Rev. Charles
New ascended as far as the snow line.
and in 1854 Mr.. III. II. Johnston reached
a height of 10000 feet. DIR. Meyer took
six days to reach the summit of the
crater of Kibo. On the first day he
reached the forest limit; on the second
Johnston's camp; on the third, passing
over extensive grass meadows, he at
tained the snow lines, and here, as usual,
his native companions deserted him.
On the fourth day, through broken up
blocks Of lava, DIR. Meyer reached the
foot of the crater, and the edge of the
crater itself on the fifth day. This he
found to be thiclzly glaciated, as also the
region which lies betVeen Kibo and its
lower companion summit, Kimawezi.
The sixth day DR.. Meyer spent in taking
photographs and making collections
around Kibo, and he also spent several
days lower down at the snow limit for a
similar purpose. He estimates the height
of the Kibo summit at close on 10000
feet, considerably higher than the esti-
mates of 1Ir. Johnston. DIR. Meyers de-
tailed narrative of his journey will be
